    Summary

    Steve's used to driving the herds through the mountain foothills by himself, only a horse and the livestock for company. This time, he gets Eddie.

    “Alone? Must get lonely. Don’t you lose all the herd?”

    “No,” says Steve, even though it is lonely. People think lonely is bad, that’s why he never says he is lonely. Lonely is a good thing, sometimes, when the world is just you and a horse and a herd and the wild. It’s like love, some crazed and unknowable sort of thing — mountain ranges like love bites on the earth. “S’good and quiet.”

    Eddie don’t say anything else before they start knocking down the tents, Steve wonders if he thought him rude.

    Summary

    A ghost hunt goes wrong, and Dean ends up fighting for his life in an icy river. A certain angel somehow knows he's in trouble and shows up to help, but doesn't have enough power left to warm up Dean. It's just a simple cold night in the woods, but things can go wrong fast at night in the woods, and soon Cas and Dean must each decide what they'll risk to save the other. And they just might end up so exhausted that they accidentally start talking.

    Canon compliant; focuses on the Dean/Cas breakup of S15E03, but takes place 2 months later. It's a couple weeks after "Golden Time", S15E06; Eileen has just been brought back; Cas/Dean breakup was 2 mos ago; short FBI phone convo was a couple wks ago. Sam/Eileen implied gently in the background. Warning: NO SMUT and not a totally happy ending yet, but it ends hopefully.

    (This fic will probably be rendered irrelevant by canon immediately, but I wanted to put a pin in the map right now, before the show ends, & think through my own take on the possible reasons for all the Dean/Castiel tension of the last two years. And see if I could make it all make sense.)

    Summary

    Look, Stiles enjoys tromping through the woods, in the dark, without sleep, in the company of a grumpy Peter Hale as much as the next guy, but even he has limits, okay?

    Summary

    He wants to figure it out, Eddie realises. It’s been haunting him since it happened two years ago — that chittering, whispering that emanated from the woods. From that first time he heard it, when the crickets were deathly silent, predator-ready, to when he heard the thundering, soldiers of the earth screaming and howling into the trees.

    Eddie doesn’t know what he thinks he’s gonna find, but whatever it is, he wants to know. Those whispers hadn’t been back since that rumble beneath the ground — the soldiers — but that steady beat, like a giant mass running closer on the 4th of July? It has to be the same. There’s no way it can’t be connected.

    And nobody has mentioned it. Nobody has even hinted at knowing what he’s talking about.

    AKA: Before the beginning and after the end, through Eddie Munson’s eyes.

    Summary

    A piece of rebar to the heart wasn't really the way Dean had planned to go out, but these things happen. It's over now; everything's over, and now he's in Heaven. It's a beautiful Heavenly day, on a beautiful Heavenly road, and there's even a Heavenly cassette tape playing a perfect Heavenly song. The last war is over; they won it all, victorious at last, and now all Dean wants to do is drive.

    The song plays, and Dean drives.

    At last he's at peace.

    Or is he?
